Message: [QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 3607132, member: 8516"] I don't dispute anything CocoHusky wrote, with one exception: A student at an Ivy League school who receives financial aid of whatever variety (work study, scholarship grant, loan) is not required to participate in any sport as a condition of receving that aid or continuing their enrollment in the institution. Example: One of my nephews attended my alma mater, Dartmouth, and received substantial financial help from the college in the form of a grant that covered 100% of his tuition expenses. He had ben recruited by Buddy Teevans and staff to play football. He played during his first year, and played well. No doubt his football skills were considered, among other things, when he applied for admission. His sophomore year he chose not to play football, switching to rugby, a club sport. This change had no effect whatsoever on his financial aid package. [/QUOTE]
